Lauren and and I are leaving from a girls get away in Palms Springs California today. Palms Springs has been our favorite “go to” place since she was 4 years old. As she’s gotten older the things we do have changed,but the fun remains constant.We love to shop and the peacefulness of the desert and it’s way of making us conform to the rules of enjoyment. What are those you ask?? Well, it so hot, all you can do is swim ,read, eat out,cook on the balcony grill, taken in the beautiful serene landscapes and relax . It is my favorite back to school ,end of track season activity. For me it’s very important to give Lauren a complete get away (even though it’s only 1 1/2 hours from out home) because of track we can’t have a traditional vacation so this little get away helps fill the void of a non vacation,vacation (the Championships).
It’s also time to move past the excitement of the Championships and put the medals away,and get ready for 4th grade, volleyball,cycling,piano and what ever else comes up between now and January/February when track season begins again.This is my time to look at the season and see what we can do better to have an even more enjoyable, productive season next year. Henry and I have a continuous discussion on training methods and approaches, what we liked, what we didn’t. What we want to try next season, what we have to get rid of. Pehaps you feel the same and need to get a fresh start…Here are few places to start………
